------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Velvet Green - Jethro Tull ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tuning: standard INFO: Song was tabbed from a youtube video cover by username 3ed3ed3. I thought this rendition was absolutely amazing and incredibly accurate and precise, and found that there was no tab of it available so I went ahead and tabbed it. To better understand the tab use the video as reference. In the chord section I used the standard letter chords but I also tabbed the chords shapes, because he uses different chord shapes for the same chords and if you do the same it matches the song very well. The tab is split into sections and staves are numbered accordingly. Reference video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icjlta5344w Good luck!

GNow I may tell you that it's Flove and not just lustG. And if we live the lieF, let's lie in truGst. GmOn golden daffodils, Fto catch the silver streamG Bbthat washes out the wild Coat seed on velvet greenGsus2. F Gsus2 We'll dream as lovers Funder the stars G--- of civilizations Fraging afar.G And the ragged dawn breaks on your bFattle scars.G BbAs you walk home cold andC alone upon velvet green.Gsus2 F
